This is a nice side-effect of running processing code on the GUI thread. I guess we can't do that anymore now we are dealing with network latency all the time.

"Designing the app’s menus was trivial — just drag and drop with InterfaceBuilder. The code framework of the app was generated automatically. " User Interface development has gotten more complicated since those early days.

Switching to a system of "user agent claims" have been up to any one of the browsers, when they had a majority of marketshare, to push through. Mosaic/Netscape/IE all had a chance in the Web 1.0 world, unfortunately, non

I don't understand why an actor needs to be tested and marked as secure on first interaction. There must be signals so that the server could initially trust an actor in some case. For example, why can't the server trust a never be

I had one that looked like someone converted XML directly into JSON and I had to parse the XML like structure without the benefit of an XML library. Not surprisingly, they didn't put any example JSON in their API documentation.

Is the Port Authority also the landlord as well? If so, that means that the Port Authority has the incentive to find the highest 'street pricing' so that the store has the margin to pay higher rent.

Just like how it is hard to fact-check Wikipedia now that it's used a reference. A thought came to me - perhaps it's Wikipedia that should be worried that it'll be supplanted by LLMs.

There were several other alternatives but it has been a year since I looked at it. I do recall that none of them use the same export/import format hence I never bothered moving.
